if BMW used spade connectors like everyone else there would be no need for this thread!

Is 28 now 29 posts a world record on where to buy one little cable.

Yes, but which is the correct one to buy.

Looks like the 3 pin GPS plug won't go into 2 pin horn socket, plus the shape of the plug/socket is different.





This one might fit.

Will a 3 pin GPS plug fit in a 2 pin horn socket.

Apologies - I hadn't read the whole post. I saw the 3 pin plug from eBay, and thought it would be the same as the 3 pin GPS one I got recently.

I think the answer is that the 3 pin plug from ebay (£10) is the same as the 3 pin GPS (BMW plug),  neither will fit the 2 pin horn socket.

Which BMW dealer is selling them for £3.99.

and some of those posi-tap things, if that doesn't work.

Looks like it won't work.

Surely not, 3 pages of advice and you bought one that is for the GPS plug.

Why?

[ds99]

i think he is referring to the email subscription to this thread.


i don't know why, as so far, it's a fascinating tale of "man versus plug"
